The molecular formula becomes C2H4O2
A compound is a substance made of two or more elements in fixed proportions.
the empirical formula tells us the relative ratios of different atoms in a compound. The ratios hold true on the molar level as well. Thus, H2O is composed of two atoms of hydrogen and 1 atom of oxygen.
The empirical formula is Ch2o
Molar mass is 60 g/mol
x*C + 2x*H + x*O = 60
Where x is the number of atoms of the element
12*x + 2*x + 16*x =60
30*x = 60
x = 60 / 30
= 2
Thus the molecular formula becomes C2H4O2
